Welcome To The Kicking Horse
Home to some of the best rapids North America has to offer, as well as breathtaking scenery and plenty of wildlife to spot on your trip, the Kicking Horse has is a favourite for adventure seekers from all over the world. Located in Golden, British Columbia, just 90 minutes from Banff, Alberta, the Kicking Horse gets its legendary name from a particularly feisty horse carrying Sir James Hector during the 1958 Palliser Expedition.
